    I see this video was made 2 years ago. I want to thank you so much. I’m new to all of this at the age of 64 and these pockets are so easy to make for me now.

    Theses are all so adorable! Thank you so much for sharing. Sometimes I feel like I overcomplicate what I want to do in my journals and that isn’t fun. These sweet easy pockets really help to get the creative juices flowing and they are fun to make.

    Hello from America !!! Oh, my goodness, what a great project !!!! The other night I know I spent more than 30 minutes trying to remember how to do a triple fold pocket. But I was watching reruns of Criminal Minds and this guy was just killing everybody in sight, and not in a nice way, so instead of me blaming it on the fact that I'm old, and like my waistline, my memory isn't what it used to be, I chose to blame it on the fact I was distracted by all that killing !! My son says I'm not funny, so sorry. But I stopped the video, printed off a double sided sheet of paper and made the first pocket, but the larger first piece you fold, I cut that off about a half inch from the fold and glued that down, and then used the opposite pattern face up and glued it on the lower left hand front for another pocket -- but I'm over the moon on your circle pocket. That is so incredibly clever. I love how the little flaps fold over to become pockets, and then the cute little envelope pockets. I'd forgotten all about those. TH-cam just populated your channel right now for the first time, and for you having to suffer through my long winded comments, I liked and subscribed. Happy crafting. Thank you so much for uploading this video. and sharing. I'm working on a 4th of July journal right now, and putting these in there as flip outs, so you can have some secret journaling space behind it. I use circle stuff around the house to outline around, too. Years ago I paid like 15 dollars at Michaels for a Martha Stewart circle maker, and now they sell 'em for about two bucks on temu ..... Best regards, Patricia

    Live these ideas for pockets. When making circles, I love using my Martha Stewart circle maker. It is flexible allowing 4 inches to 12 inches and partial sizes in between. It is easy storing as well.

    Hello, new subscriber here. I very much enjoyed this tutorial. I am in the U.S., and our standard paper measures 8.5 x 11 inches instead of 8.25 x 11.75. My question is will I still be able to do the second pocket with that size paper.

    Nice video, always good to go back to basics for refreshers. However, it is *common etiquette in the crafting world to give credit where credit is due and, while you did mention Kylie's cutting tips for circles, you failed to give her credit for the inspiration for the circle pocket she was doing a tutorial on in the same video where you mentioned the cutting tips she shared which you subsequently shared.* It is my personal practice to not subscribe to those who are blatantly remiss in giving credit.

  • @qso3566

    I won't watch anything titled "fast and easy" ... it's an insult to the true artists who put their time and effort and skills into making works of art.

    • @RachandBellaCrafts
      @RachandBellaCrafts  ปีที่แล้ว +6

      🤣. And yet you stopped by to leave me this comment. Thank you so much!
      Maybe if you had watched the video you would realise it’s not an insult to other artists but a springboard for beginners to learn techniques they may find daunting. We are ALL true artists, each of us different in our own approach.
      May I suggest rather than leave negative comments on hard working TH-camrs videos, you use your energy to do something worthwhile. I promise you, it will make you happier. Have a blessed day. Best wishes 😊
